How to contact your representatives
April 25, 2018
With activism’s prevalence in the news and American society, many students have questions about how to evoke change and who can help facilitate action. A February 2018 poll by Quinnipiac University found that 66 percent of Americans are in support of gun reform. But how can the average citizen push for this modification?
Aside from protests, marches, and raising awareness in the community, students and the average citizen can contact their senators to evoke further change.
There are both national senators and state senators that may be contacted.
